**Chapter 10: Exploring the Broken Clan Stele Again, Only to Obtain Higher-Dimensional Information**

The cracks in the clan stele are seeping blood.

Dark golden blood flows along the gullies of the stele inscriptions, drawing a star chart on the ice surface of the Northern Wasteland. Lin Jin kneels halfway before the stele, and the instant his fingertips touch the bloodstains, the wails of billions of languages explode in his ears—these are the final laments of one hundred thousand civilizations erased by the Observers, crying out in the folds of space-time.

"So the stele inscriptions are alive..."

The Burial Star Pupil in his right eye splits open a fine crack, and seventy-two ice coffin projections shoot out from deep within his pupils, projecting the blood-stain star chart onto the firmament. When the star chart overlaps with the stars of the present world, the ice surface suddenly turns transparent, revealing a group of bronze gears buried deep underground. Every gear meshes with clan stele fragments of different time and space, and in the center of all the gear sets stands a broken obelisk—the stele surface is smooth as a mirror, but what it reflects is the scene of dinosaur-man priests worshipping the woman in the ice coffin.

**Inverse Dimension Analysis**

Lin Jin slits his wrist, letting the chain scar devour his divine blood. The blood flows backward into a river on the stele surface, revealing encrypted dimensional coordinates. The Burial Star Pupil automatically dismantles these coordinates, and he sees an even more cruel truth:

The Northern Wasteland clan stele is not a tombstone, but an "Observation Terminal"—

Every stele inscription is a data fragment of an observed civilization, and the bloodline of the Burial Coffin clansmen is a living sensor. When a civilization touches the dimensional critical point, the clan stele will upload the data to the Observers, triggering the "pruning program."

"So what the Burial Coffin clansmen have guarded for generations..."

Lin Jin punches the ice surface, and the gear group roars as it rises. "Is actually their own death warrant."

Sparks erupt where the bronze gears mesh, and the star chart begins to collapse into a singularity. The obelisk mirror suddenly extends countless bronze arms, dragging him into the swirling vortex of reverse time. In the absolute torrent of information, he is forced to endure the memories of seventy-two destroyed civilizations:

-The Mechanical Buddha Kingdom deduced the existence of the Observers using causal algorithms, and the entire civilization self-destructed into a black hole;

-The Magic Dynasty refined its citizens into inverse-dimension talismans, only to become the control group for the Observers' experiments;

-The most ancient carbon-based civilization engraved its biological electrical waves into dinosaur DNA before its extinction...

**Dimensional Formula Cast in Blood**

When Lin Jin breaks free from the torrent of data, his entire skin has cracked into the shape of broken porcelain. He finds himself standing inside the obelisk, surrounded by blood talismans left by the woman in the ice coffin. Those talismans are not words, but equations written in the entropy values of civilizations:

**Λ=Σ(S? ×lnΩ)**

(Note: Λ represents the probability of Observer intervention, S? is the entropy increase rate of the civilization, Ω is the dimensional breakthrough potential)

The talismans suddenly go berserk, carving the same formula onto the surface of Lin Jin's bones. Amidst the intense burning sensation, he realizes the screening mechanism of the Observers—

**When a civilization possesses both a high entropy increase rate and high dimensional potential, the Λ value breaks through the critical point, triggering an extinction command. **

And the woman in the ice coffin constantly creating Coffin-Feeders to devour civilizations is actually to artificially lower the Λ value!

"But why use the most cruel way..."

Lin Jin's questioning is interrupted by the suddenly descending pressure. A giant eye composed of gear sets opens inside the obelisk, with the familiar identification symbol rotating in its pupil—the entry code for the Observer laboratory.

"Because you are also one of the variables."

The giant eye's voice is superimposed by ten thousand languages, and Lin Jin's collarbone suddenly splits open, flying out seventy-two ice coffin fragments. The fragments assemble into a prism in the air, refracting his isotopes scattered throughout the heavens—

The chain scars of every "Lin Jin" are burning at this moment, uploading the clan stele data of their respective time-spaces!

**Super-Dimensional Battlefield**

The light beams refracted by the prism pierce through the dimensional barrier, and Lin Jin sees the true body of the woman in the ice coffin trapped in a mathematical rate cage. Her frost hair is nailed to the surface of a Klein bottle, and every struggle triggers a Λ value oscillation of some civilization.

"Use this!"

She suddenly tears open her own chest, throwing out a beating heart. The surface of the heart is engraved with the inverse-dimension equation:

**Λ? 1=Π(1-S? /Ω)**

Lin Jin's Burial Star Pupil automatically deciphers the formula—this is the key to reversing the Λ value, at the cost of sacrificing the existence brand of all Coffin-Feeders. He crushes the heart without hesitation, and the blood erupts with supernova-level brilliance inside the obelisk.

The Observer giant eye reveals terror for the first time. The ultimate form of Lin Jin appears in the gear pupil:

His flesh collapses into a singularity, the chain scar reorganizes into inverse-dimension chains in the dimensional storm, and seventy-two isotopes are converging toward him through the clan stele's data channel!

"What you fear is not the Λ value,"

Lin Jin's voice resounds through all time-spaces simultaneously, "but the inverse-entropy obsession born in a civilization at the edge of despair."

The inverse-dimension chains pierce the giant eye, and the gear group collectively overloads. In the instant before the explosion, Lin Jin tears a crystal from the giant eye's core—it is the "Logical Cornerstone" of the Observers, engraved with their most primitive fear:

**"If Λ? 1 > 0.618, Mother Body awakens."**

**The Final Lesson of the Clan Stele**

The obelisk collapses into quantum dust, and Lin Jin falls back into the present world. The clan stele fragments of the Northern Wasteland float in the air, piecing together the complete inscription:

**Here sleeps the seventy-second generation mother body of the Observers**

**Born in the embers of civilization**

**Died in the dawn of inverse dimensions**

The woman in the ice coffin walks out of the stele shadow, her frost hair having temperature for the first time: "Now you understand, the clan stele is both a tombstone..."

She takes Lin Jin's hand, which is covered in formulas, "And a cradle."

Seventy-two ice coffins burst out of the ground, with the fire seed maps of each civilization appearing on the inner walls of the coffin lids. Lin Jin's chain scar suddenly burns hot, and the devoured Λ values begin to flow backward—

The causal algorithms of the Mechanical Buddha Kingdom are reborn in the steam civilization;

The talismans of the Magic Dynasty turn into climate regulation systems;

The dinosaur-man gene sequences sprout in interstellar colony ships...

**Observer Log (Final Update)**

**Sample Number: 000**

**Name: Lin Jin**

**Status: Ascension Complete**

**Note: Mother Body protocol triggered, all observation terminals converted to civilization fire seed pods. **

**New formula entry: Λ? 1=Hope**

The snow falls without a sound.

The youth sits alone on the top of the stele, watching the formulas in his palm gradually fade.

His shadow is cast on the ice surface, growing frost-white hair tips.
